Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy governs the Auto Clipper mobile application and its associated processing services. This includes backend services used to analyze, transcribe, render, store, and deliver video clips.
1. Information We Collect
The data we process depends on your interaction with specific features of the app.
1.1 Account and Profile Data
We may collect and store:
- Firebase User ID: A unique identifier for your account.
- Google Profile Information: Email address and display name (when signing in via Google).
- Account Status: Sign-in state (anonymous vs. linked accounts).
- Subscription Metadata: Tier status and expiry dates.
1.2 Subscription and Purchase Verification
For transactions processed through Google Play, we collect:
- Subscription product IDs and purchase/order identifiers.
- Google Play Purchase Tokens: Used for secure server-side verification.
- Subscription status, acknowledgement states, and expiry timestamps.
Note: We do not store or receive full credit card numbers or bank details; these are handled exclusively by Google Play.
1.3 Media and User Content
Depending on your workflow, we process:
- Imported Media: Video files uploaded from your device.
- Metadata: Subtitle files, clip timing selections, titles, and captions.
- External Content: User-provided URLs fetched for processing.
- Generated Assets: Transcripts, thumbnails, and rendered video outputs.
- AI Metadata: Titles, descriptions, and tags generated by the Composer feature.
1.4 Publisher Feature Data
If you use the Publisher feature to schedule or post content to third-party platforms, we process:
- Authorized Credentials: OAuth tokens used to connect to external accounts.
- Scheduled Content: Video files and associated metadata (titles, tags).
- Platform Feedback: Post status, timestamps, and API responses from destination platforms.
Note: OAuth tokens are used strictly to perform publishing actions on your behalf and do not grant access to data beyond the scope of the post.
1.5 Reseller Program Data
For participants in the reseller or access code program:
- Reseller status and generated/distributed access codes.
- Redemption records (which account claimed which code and when).
- Package types and associated Pro access durations.
1.6 Operational and Device Data
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Tokens: Used for push notifications.
- Technical Logs: Server request data, job IDs, queue status, and error logs required for service maintenance and security.
1.7 Advertising Data
The app utilizes Google AdMob. Google and its partners may collect device, network, and interaction data to serve ads in accordance with their own privacy policies.
2. How We Use Information
We utilize the collected data to:
- Manage Accounts: Authenticate users and secure access to saved items.
- Process Media: Transcribe audio, generate clip suggestions, and render video outputs.
- Automate Metadata: Use AI to assist with titles and descriptions in the Composer tool.
- Facilitate Publishing: Schedule and post content to third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube).
- Verify Billing: Manage Pro access and validate Google Play subscriptions.
- Communication: Send push notifications and critical service announcements.
- Maintenance: Diagnose technical failures, prevent abuse, and optimize app performance.
3. When Media Leaves Your Device
While some features operate locally, several core functions require backend processing. Your media is transmitted to our servers if you use:
- Server-side clipping or transcription.
- URL-based media importing.
- Cloud rendering (Gallery/Composer).
- Publisher scheduling.
Generated clips and transcripts may be stored server-side to provide you with a synchronization history and gallery access across sessions.
4. Sharing and Service Providers
We may share data with trusted service providers to facilitate our services:
- Infrastructure: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, FCM) and backend hosting providers.
- Payments: Google Play Billing.
- Advertising: Google AdMob.
- AI Analysis: Third-party AI providers (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Zhipu) for specific analysis workflows.
- Social Platforms: Third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube) that you explicitly connect via the Publisher feature.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Data Retention
- Account & Billing: Retained as long as the account is active for compliance and support.
- Media & Gallery: Retained while jobs are active or saved in your gallery, subject to periodic cleanup.
- Publisher Tokens: Retained only as long as necessary to maintain the connection; you may revoke these at any time.
- Operational Logs: Retained temporarily for troubleshooting and fraud prevention.
6. Your Choices and Rights
You have the following controls:
- Authentication: Choose between Google Sign-In or Anonymous use.
- Permissions: Manage camera, storage, and notification access via device settings.
- Subscriptions: Manage or cancel subscriptions through the Google Play Store.
- Access Revocation: Disconnect third-party platforms via their respective security settings (e.g., Google Security for YouTube).
- Support: Contact us for specific data requests or account deletion.
7. Security and Children's Privacy
- Security: We employ industry-standard measures, including encrypted transport (SSL/TLS), to protect your data.
- Children: This service is not intended for children under 13. If we become aware that a child has provided personal data without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.
